Beware Cary Faas mufflers
This is just a heads up on anyone considering the purchase of the Cary Faas slipons. After I purchased these slipons, one side began to turn blue and gold. I contacted the shop where I purchased them and after they contacted Faas they where told that these were the old pipes that were not double walled and did not have the new fiberglass insulation in them. I was told that they could be sent back and they would double wall them but not fix the discoloration. This seemed odd to me so I called the company direct and lo and behold was told the same thing. Now how is that for customer service. I will never purchase another product made by Cary Faas and would advise others to steer clear of them as well. Too many companies making too many products to put up with being treated like crap on a purchase that large. Curious if others have experienced the same problem with these pipes.

Can't comment on your particular problem but I have a set of slipons (Black) on order and still waiting for them. I ordered them on 29 May and should have them mid-June but they made chrome, not black. Then I was told my black set would be ready by mid-July, but now they say mid-Aug because they are making chrome sets first. If I don't get them by mid-Aug, I will get my $$$ back and order the new Rinehart 4" black slipons.

I've had my CFR's for a while now with no issues. Mine are black though. 
I did call them to see about purchasing some dual headers when I was in the market and was told they would not be ready for about two months. I ended up going with V&H dressers.
Everytime I've called them, I've gotten nothing but good service.

Sorry guys, I am with Cary and other manufacturers on this. I put a set of pipes on my bike, it is not properly tuned for that setup, I trash the pipes, ( turn blue, black whatever)I ask the manufacturer to fix it? Whats wrong with that whine?

I have recommended your product to several friends and I have yet to find someone who doesn't say "Wow!" when listening to my exhaust.
You have great products, keep it up!

Am I looking for the greatest possible output? No. I want decent performance, decent gas mileage, no popping or backfiring, no excessive heat and no discoloration and I got that out of the box with a very simple mod.
I haven't had my bike dynoed and I don't plan to.
I ride my bike on country roads, and I'm interested in visiting places with beautiful scenery, not to break records on the 1/4 mile or to run circles around my riding buddies'.

I have a PC-5, V&H Dresser Duals, K&N, and CFR's. I recently took it for a dyno tune and couldn't be happier. The sound is amazing, but the throttle response is incredible now.
